I disovered that the new house lacks one crucial item: the thingy next to the front entrance where you stick a flag is absent.
This will teach me to buy houses from foreign professors.

Actually, the original plan was to have the flags of:
1. Ukraine;
2. Quebec;
3. The Spanish Republic;
4. CNT-FAI: the anarchist organization that I would join were I alive during the Spanish Civil War.
As you can see from the list, I always root for the hopeless causes. 🙂

I suggest the “Q” flag so the USS Hedgehogs can come into port. 🙂
It’s a yellow flag that’s good for all occasions.
In addition to “pratique”, it also may mean “quarantine”, so it’s lovely for scaring off unwelcome visitors …
“What are you quarantined for?”
“We’ve had an outbreak of Wolbachia in our garden …”

You can always put a flag holder in yourself!
Our house came with one and I make a point of putting up a US flag for all the usual patriotic holiday–plus election days and both Obama inaugurations. I sort of like confusing my neighbors (in this hyper-liberal academic neighborhood) who would prefer to let the right wing co-opt all national symbols.
As long as you’re drilling holes by the front door, will you be putting up a mezuzah? They don’t automatically repel door-to-door Mormons and Jehovah’s Witnesses unfortunately (who probably assume it’s just a random decoration), but when they come to the door, you can make them back away quickly by tapping the mezuzah meaningfully and uttering a blessing in Hebrew (or, presumably, Ukrainian or Russian–it’s not like they’ll know the difference).

These are all brilliant, brilliant ideas! I’m totally getting a mezuzah! Thank you, you rock.
